Abstract
An image forming system, and a user authenticating method and a control method thereof, the image forming system including a plurality of image forming apparatuses communicably connected and performing a first authentication of a user in a first image forming apparatus of the plurality of image forming apparatuses; requesting a second authentication of the user from at least one second image forming apparatus of the plurality of image forming apparatuses in response to the first authentication failing in the first image forming apparatus; and finally authenticating the user based on a result of the second authentication.
Claims27
A user authenticating method of an image forming system which includes a plurality of image forming apparatuses communicably connected, the method comprising:
- performing a first authentication of a user in a first image forming apparatus of the plurality of image forming apparatuses;
- requesting a second authentication of the user from at least one second image forming apparatus of the plurality of image forming apparatuses in response to the first authentication failing in the first image forming apparatus;
- and
- finally authenticating the user based on a result of the second authentication.
A control method of an image forming system which includes a plurality of image forming apparatuses communicably connected, the method comprising:
- inputting identification information of a user and position information of an image forming apparatus in which authentication information of the user is stored;
- requesting an authentication of the user from the image forming apparatus corresponding to the position information;
- and
- selectively performing a predetermined job which the user requests based on an authentication result.
A control method of an image forming system which includes a plurality of image forming apparatuses communicably connected, the method comprising:
- requesting a job from a first image forming apparatus of the plurality of image forming apparatuses;
- performing a first authentication of a user requesting the job based on first user authentication information in the first image forming apparatus;
- requesting a second authentication of the user from at least one second image forming apparatus of the plurality of image forming apparatuses in response to a failure of the first authentication in the first image forming apparatus;
- and
- selectively performing the job based on a result of the second authentication.
An image forming system, comprising:
- a first image forming apparatus including a first communicating unit and a first storing unit to store first user authentication information;
- and
- a second image forming apparatus including a second communicating unit to communicate with the first communicating unit and a second storing unit to store second user authentication information;
- wherein the first image forming apparatus performs a first authentication using user identification information and the first user authentication information, and requests a second authentication from the second image forming apparatus in response to failure of the first authentication;
- and
- the second image forming apparatus performs the second authentication using the user identification information and the second user authentication information, and transmits a result of the second authentication to the first image forming apparatus.
